I've been meaning to write this for a week now but the days just seemed to get away from me somehow.  Since it's that time of year we express our gratitude I'd like to thank all those Californians who helped Prop 8 to pass last Tuesday. We watched with anticipation for the outcome of the decision knowing that it would only be a matter of time the same issues would spread here to WA. Thank you for valuing families the same way we do, for stepping outside your comfort zones, speaking up and giving of your time. The fight for what is good and right is not over and never will be, but this is one small victory I am especially grateful for this year.
